Baku, 10 June: As is known, the Council of Europe [CE] has drafted
a plan of action for the forthcoming parliamentary elections in
Azerbaijan in November this year.
Azerbaijan does not agree with many of the points made by the OSCE
rapporteur on Nagornyy Karabakh, Goran Lenmarker, in his proposal
to the Azerbaijani parliament. The first point that angered Baku was
the fact that the aggressor country was not named.
"The position of the Azerbaijani delegation was such that the OSCE
meeting in Washington in early July and the winter session of the
Parliamentary Assembly [PA] of the CE should adopt a resolution
recognizing Armenia as an aggressor country and the self-proclaimed
regime in Nagornyy Karabakh as separatist. It can be seen from the
report that the OSCE does not have the same position as Azerbaijan,"
a member of the Azerbaijani delegation to the PACE, MP Eldar Ibrahimov,
has said.
That is why, the issue of putting the Karabakh problem on the agenda
of the OSCE's annual meeting has not been resolved yet. This will
depend on the activities of the OSCE Minsk Group.
"The organization thinks that the OSCE Minsk Group is dealing with
a Karabakh settlement. But unfortunately, the Minsk Group does not
aspire to resolve the conflict," Ibrahimov stressed.
This issue will be clarified following the meeting of the OSCE office
in Copenhagen in the second part of June.
